Vidal again missing but denies Juventus split

Arturo Vidal denies a split with Juventus management after his axing for victory over AS Roma.

The Chile international was also left out of the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo due to fitness concerns yesterday.

Responding to speculation over the omission, Vidal took to twitter:

"Following the latest 'information' appeared in the media over the last few days, I want to clarify a few things.

"My rapport with everyone at Juventus is very good. My teammates, the coaching staff and the directors have trust in me and I in them.

"The club did not fine me. The reports on this are erroneous and in many cases done with malice.

"My knee is very good. With hard work I will reach my best physical form, but I was recovering from an operation and have therefore not been able to complete the same pre-season training schedule as my teammates.

"I am 100 per cent committed to my club and to Chile. I hope to win titles with both these teams.

"I hope that with this comment I have correctly informed everyone. I am sure the malicious people out there will continue to lie, but I cannot do anything to avoid that.

"Hugs, Arturo."
